Title | The platelet integrin alphaIIbbeta3 binds to the RGD and AGD motifs in fibrinogen |
Summary | A peptide array was used to show that AGD was the minimal binding sequence in HHLGGAKQAGDV and that the receptor recognizes ligands of the form GXGDSC, where X is a hydrophobic or basic residue. This work revises our understanding of the alphaIIbbeta3 specificity and also suggests a new class of antithrombotic agents. |
